Refugees: Eating Stolen Fruits
Dear Madam or Sir, Europe is importing around 1000 000 000 dollars worth of fruits and vegetables from Israel. These products are grown on land that belongs to Palestinian refugees. Since they were forced to leave their land, many of the Palestinian refugees have died in or outside camps in Jordan, Lebanon and the occupied Palestinian Territories. Would they have been allowed to return to their land, their children would be living on their property and eating from its fruits. Today, 20% of the Palestinian refugees, in or outside camps, are suffering from hunger, and over 50 % rely on foreign food support. Israel with an average income of 20000 $ is rich. Europe: don’t eat the stolen fruits Israel deprived our children from, until Israel respects our rights, land and water, and stops destroying our fields, uprooting our trees and preventing us from harvesting. The more you eat, the more they can steal. Europe, stop eating the stolen fruits. Raymond Hiresh Paris, France http://www.miftah.org |
